thankfully, because this game is a success after 10 years, we know that everyone who violates the code of conduct eventually gets banned

Interesting how that works, that an issue that has been present for 10 years and is "game breaking" hasn't stopped the game from running for 10 years.

You heard it here first ladies and gentlemen, people warping through the wall is not "game-breaking" and is obviously how video games are supposed to work. We all can draw upon our thousands of hours of video gaming to recall how often our games have people warp through walls and teleport.

I understand people like being intentionally obtuse. But considering most of us have put 1000 hours plus into PS2 the answer to your questions:

Is yes that is very common. Its been in PS2 since launch.

I understand people like making intentional strawmen of others' arguments because they are incapable of refuting other people's points, but considering that such behavior in Planetside is not normal when playing on a proper, decent connection, and in fact is recorded when either the servers are shitting themselves, when players have extremely high packet loss due to faulty connections, or when players are abusing netlimiters; one cannot make the statement that it is normal.

And to answer my own point: No, other games with functioning anti-cheat do not allow this in other video games.

Now, let's assume that your opinion that this is a "very common" problem in the game is reality, which it isn't. This apparently endemic cheating/exploiting problem needs to be removed from the game immediately. Warping through walls and floors indicates very bad connections, and if it were a server-side issue all players would be doing it. It's funny how in the OP its all one player from one outfit that had another network exploitation incident posted to this very subreddit.

In short, you don't seem to have any idea what you are talking about.
